Guide to Roleplaying in Runescape

Is Runescape a MMORPG or just MMOG? Should we put "role playing" words into it or not?

You know what, it is entirely up to you! The beauty of Runescape is that you can role play inside it but you don't have to. Most people don't, of course, which is OK. I personally don't do that all the time, but I do role play inside the game occasionally. That is when I am in a mood to do so. And it's always fun.

If you have never tried it, I'd encourage you to give it a shot. It well worth it.
And if you don't know where and how to begin, check out this guide from the Informer.

P.S. Yes, I know, it is a bonus XP weekend and I ought to be writing about it :). Maybe next time...

Runescape Role-playing

I know, Runescape is a role-playing game by definition. But it is not really a role-playing game in its pure sense. Players have an ability to role-play their characters, but only a few choose to do so. I am not advocating a "hard-core" role-playing, but I would encourage you to at least try it from time to time. Maybe once a month? Check it out - it is fun!

And here are some advices from Runescape wikia about role-playing in Runescape.

P.S. I'll be away on a journey till April 12. I'll post when I am back.

The forgotten places in Runescape

Great new article in R!Informer about places in Runescape world which are rarely visited by players and about a joy of being an explorer.

After all the game is not just about skilling, fighting and money making. It is also about role-playing and exploration. Try it. One day set aside skilling, turn off the chat, turn on the surrounding sound and full screen mode and simply walk the world, see and listen, walk into houses you never entered before, travel places you ignored for so long, climb mountains and cross marshes - just for a little bit really live in that world.

Mining Gold in Arzinian Mine

Just a little story from Kitt Fox. Role-playing in Arzinian mines.

A Hunter in the Wilderness

Two things happened yesterday. First, I got myself a new laptop and was able to play in HD full screen mode. Second, I went hunting for revenants into the Wilderness. Wow! It was one of the best experiences I had in Runescape ever.

Enormousness, darkness, emptiness and gloominess of the Wilderness magnified by the HD graphics is something to behold. Now add there a thrill of hunting and joy of battle and you'll get the picture.

I started from Edgeville and wandered in broad curves all the way up to the Axe Hut and back killing several revenant orcs and werewolves along the way. So what can I say? If you like soloing and role playing, try it - you can hardly get more complete experience in the game.
